Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese: You’d never guess cottage cheese is the main ingredient in this dip! I always prefer to use a full fat cottage cheese for dips to keep them smooth and creamy. Good Culture is my favorite brand of cottage cheese to use.
- Honey: The honey flavor pairs well with fruit, but you can swap honey for maple syrup, brown sugar or other sweetener of your choice.
- Lemon Juice: A little lemon juice adds brightness and brings in a cheesecake-like flavor into the dip.
- Vanilla Extract: Just a little vanilla flavor brings this dip together.
How to make cottage cheese fruit dip
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, scraping the sides down as needed.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve! If desired, top with an extra drizzle of honey!
How to store
Store your leftover cottage cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for optimal freshness.
What to serve with
This cottage cheese fruit dip goes well with just about any fruit, but these are my favorites:
- Apple slices
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Pineapple
- Grapes
- Orange slices or clementine sections
- Pretzels
- Graham crackers
- Animal crackers
- Any of your other favorite dippers
Variations
- Scoop some dip into a serving bowl and top with berries and granola for a high protein cottage cheese granola bowl.
- Mix up the flavor with a little sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
